Originally, circular knitting was done using a set of four or five double-pointed knitting needles. Knitting consists of loops called stitches pulled through each other.
Depending on how the increase is done, there is often a hole in the fabric at the point of the increase. Such knitting needles may be made out of any materials, but the most common materials are metals, wood, bamboo, and plastic. Now count the stitches, if they are all there, turn the right knitting needle around and put it in the left hand.
Sock knitting machines are antiques and they are not made any more. Whereas the second crochet hook is used for skipped, or drooped stitches specially stitches like tufting. Flat knitting is usually used to knit flat pieces like scarves, blankets, afghans, and the backs and fronts of sweaters.
These five stitches, I believe, form the very foundation of knitting. Knitting needles come in different sizes.
Even a beginner can make a simple scarf with novelty yarn in just a few hours, and have it look just fantastic. Good luck with your knitting.
